oA Catalog for the Amateur 
^THIS catalog is constructed to appeal to the popular mind. In every description, we 
have tried to present only those facts which would be of interest to non-nurserymen 
—to house owners and house developers—to the amateur, not the professional gardener. 
And, more than this, we have tried in all cases to offer only those items which have given 
a maximum of success with a minimum of care, so that one need not be a student of 
horticulture to enjoy them in his garden. If you like this new type of catalog, we would 
be pleased to have you let us know. To stay in business, we must heed the wishes of our 
many patrons; by doing this, we have succeeded in carrying on our operations for 
fifty-five years. 
Our Terms of Sale—Tlease Read Carefully 
Special Notice —The greatest care is exercised to keep our stock clean and true to name. Should any prove 
otherwise, we will return the money paid or replace it with other stock, but we are not liable for damage beyond 
that. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with 
us. Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 
HOW TO ORDER— To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order as early as possible. Be sure that 
your name and address are clearly written. In your address give post office, county and state, and 
state clearly to what point goods are to be sent. If shipping address is different than residence post 
office, be sure that you give us the correct shipping point. Small favors thankfully received always, 
but we cannot undertake to fill an order of less amount than one dollar. 
SUBSTITUTION —It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which occasionally 
occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort, properly labeled, of course. When it 
is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words “No 
Substitution” is all that is necessary. 
SHIPPING —We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, con¬ 
sequently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants 
and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. 
Transportation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, 
unless arranged otherwise.

SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST —Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post, 
especially to nearby points. If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the subheading 
of the desired article for cost of transportation. Any overpayment will be refunded by us immedi¬ 
ately after shipment goes forward. 
TERMS —Payment should be made at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to make no ship¬ 
ment C.O.D. but will, when requested, ship in this way, provided 25 per cent of the amount of an 
order is sent with the order, with return charges added. Please do not ask us to open accounts 
for less than $10.00 orders. 
Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, 
but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates, 
respectively. Hundred lots may not be made up at hundred rates for less than fifty of a variety. 
CLAIMS, if any, should be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully exam¬ 
ined and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after 15 days from receipt of goods will not be 
entertained. We endeavor to send out only good stock in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; 
but success or failure depends in # so large a degree upon the care and management after received, that 
we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.
